A contract has been signed for the construction of a 120-bed Italian hospital in central Baghdad, on the site of the former Turkish restaurant. The agreement was concluded with 3H Group [Hospital Healthcare Holdings (HHH)], part of GKSD Holding, and is described as the first fully integrated European medical facility of its kind in the country.
According to the National Investment Commission (NIC), the hospital will include five advanced operating theatres and specialist services covering paediatric and adult cardiac surgery, spinal surgery, complex oncology, and neonatal care. The facility will also feature diagnostic laboratories, genetic testing units, an advanced radiology centre with MRI and CT scanners, and a longevity and wellness centre.
Adel Dakhil Muhammad al-Yasiri, head of the NIC, said the project would draw on international medical expertise, particularly from Europe, alongside training and development programmes for Iraqi medical staff conducted in partnership with specialist institutions and universities.
The office of the Prime Minister had previously announced in August 2025 that then-Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani had inaugurated the construction.
